Understanding light reflection: Build your own periscope
Mirrors change the direction of light and reflect it. We can demonstrate this practically by making a periscope. Light is reflected from one object into a mirror and then onto the other mirror before reaching your eyes. Collect your materials and find out for yourself!
What is evaporation?
In this investigation you are going to see if water can move – or does it just change?
Food webs
When we look at habitats we often look at food chains to see the feeding relationships within them. Sometimes, though, more than one animal feeds off others. This is when we make food webs. Look at these cards. Can you cut them out and arrange them on the table with the arrows to show which animals feed off each other?
I hear with my little ear
Sit in a quiet place and close your eyes and listen really carefully. What can you hear inside the room? What can you hear inside yourself? Record the sounds you hear.
Solids, liquids and gases
This worksheet involves cutting out scientific vocabulary regarding solids, liquids and gases and matching it to its definition.
Food chains and interdependence
A cut out and stick activity that encourages children to think about which animals eat which plants and animals. They need to arrange these into food chains with arrows pointing the correct way.
Temperature and heat
Vocabulary regarding temperature and heat for children to cut out and match with the correct definitions.
Thermal insulators and thermal conductors
A worksheet for children to cut out the names of different materials and then put them into the columns 'thermal insulator' and 'thermal conductor'.
